BOTTLE.

Application led March 23, 1916.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP AMICO, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in the construction of bottles.

An object of the invention is to produce a bottle of a simple but novel construction whereby the contents thereof may be readily poured therefrom but also whereby the refilling of the bottle will be effectively prevented. l

lVith the above and other objects in Vie the improvement resides in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view of a bottle constructed in accordance with the present invention, F ig. 2 is a central vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cap portion of the bottle, Fig.' 4- is a similar view of the neck portion of the bottle, Fig. 5 is a similar view of the upper portion of the bottle, and Fig. 6 is a detail longitudinal sectional view through the upper portion of the body and the lower portion of the neck of the bottle illustrating a slightly modified form in the construction of the bottle.

In the drawings, A designates the bottle in its entirety. The bottle preferably comprises a body 1, a neck 2 and a cap 3. The body or bottle proper is to be filled before the neck and cap are secured thereon, and the said body at what I will term the shoulder portion thereof, and which for distinction is indicated by the numeral 4, is centrally formed with an annular depressed portion 5 which preferably is provided with an annular depression 6 and with a downwardly bulged portion or teat 7 extending from its lower wall 8. The hollow teat 7 is centrally provided with an opening 9 whereby the contents are first poured into the bottle and which also serves as an outlet port for the said contents when the liquid is to be poured from the bottle.

The neck 2 is adapted to snugly lit within the depressed portion 5 and to rest upon the floor 8 thereof and the lower portion of said neck is provided with an annular depression or channel 10 receiving a split ring 11 and Specication of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 86,267.

this ring is adapted to expand and to be partly received in the annular' channel 6 when the neck is arranged upon the body of the bottle. In addition to the split spring member' 11 coating of suitable cement is arranged between the neck and the body to permanently secure the neck to the bottle. The neck 2 preferably comprises a hollow member but has its lower portion solid, as indicated by the numeral 12, and the said portion is formed with a vertically extendlng depression 13 that communicates with angular' depressions 14 and 15 respectively, the end walls of all the depressions being rounded and the end wall of the depression 13 preferably projecting below the end of the neck proper, and this depression is provided with an opening 16 which is adapted to register or communicate with the opening 9 in the tcat 7 of the body. The rounded connecting wall between the depressions 14 and l5 isprovided with one or more openings 16 that communicate with a centrally disposed tube 17 which is connected with the top 18 of the neck proper. The neck may be and preferably is provided with an annular cntension 19 above its top 18 and this extension may be provided with an annular groove or channel 2O which is adapted to register with a similar groove or channel 21 within which is arranged a split ring 22 in the lower end of the cap 3. The cap is adapted to snugly rest upon the top 18 of the neck, and in addition to the split spring securing member a coating of cement is arranged between the neck and the cap to permanently secure the cap to the neck.

The cap 3 also comprises a hollow member and preferably has its top 23 domeshaped and is provided with an outlet opening 2i upon one of its sides and at its said top, the cap has centrally arranged therein a tube 25 having both of its ends rounded and its lower end extending below the bottom of the cap so as to be projected within the tube 17 of the neck 2. This lower end of the tube 25 is provided with a port 26 and said tube adjacent its upper and closed end is provided with a plurality of transversely arranged openings 27. Arranged within the tube is a spherical valve 28 which normally rests upon the lower wall thereof to close the port 26 and also arranged within the depression 13 and resting upon the lower rounded wall thereof to normally close the port 16 is a spherical valve 29.

Then the bottle is inverted the valve 29 the depressions let and l5 and into one of .said depressions and the valve 28 will be received in the rounded end of the tube 25 beyond the outlet ports 27, thus permitting the liquid from the body of the bottle to fiow through the opening 9 of the teat 7, the openings l5 and 1G of the tube 17, the opening '26 in the end of the tube Q5, through the openings 27 and through the outlet opening 2li of the cap 3.

In Fig. G the structure is substantially similar to that just described, but the body l is formed with a central extension 30 that is provided with a depression 5 having a lower wall 8 and a central conical depression 7 that is provided with a port 9', and with this arrangement it will be noted that all of the contents of the bottle may iow therefrom when the bottle is upset.

From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings the simplicity of the device as well as the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art to which such invention appertains without further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

l. A bottle having a separable neck secured thereto and a separable cap secured to the neck, the neck having a Y-shaped depression therein, the opposite walls being provided with openings, a valve normally closing the lower opening, the cap being hollow and having a centrally arranged tube, the opposite ends of which are round and one of which projects into the neck, the lower wall of the tube having an opening, a

valve for closing this opening, the said tube adjacent its opposite end having lateral openings and the cap having an outlet opening upon one of the sides thereof arranged out of a line with the openings in the tube.

2. A bottle comprising a body portion having its shoulder formed with a depressed portion provided with a central hollow teat, the said teat having a central opening, a neck fitted in the depression and secured thereto, said neck having its lower portion provided with an interior Y-shaped depression, the end walls of which are round, and the lower wall projecting beyond the end of the neck to within the teat of the bottle and being formed with an opening, a spherical valve in the depression normally closing the opening, the connecting wall of the branch of the depression having openings, a tube in the bottle neck surrounding these openings, a hollow cap member seatecI upon the end of the neck and secured thereto, said cap meniber having a central tube provided with rounded end walls and the lower wall being provided with an opening and being arranged in the tube of the neck, a spherical valve within the tube of the cap and normally closing the opening, the said tube of the cap adjacent its upper end having lateral openings, the top of the cap being deine-shaped and provided with an outlet opening which is disposed above the tube, all as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
